VAUXHALLMokka 2012 - 2016

　　The 2012 Opel Mokka is the smallest 4x4 vehicle launched by the German carmaker. It is a cross-over, a breed between an Opel Corsa and an Antara, the medium-sized SUV. Its 4.3 meters (14 ft) long places it right in the middle of the sub-compact segment. Its ability to roam through crowded streets and easily park over a curb transformed it into an instant hit. Before its facelift in 2016, Opel succeeded to sell half a million units.

　　Inside the Mokka there is no more room than into a Chevrolet Spark with which it shares the platform. The vehicle is sold in the U.S. under the Buick Encore and Chevrolet Traxx names. In Europe, it stopped its sales as part of the takeover from the French PSA group.

　　Before the 2016 facelift, it has three gasoline and one diesel unit. The standard gearbox was a 5-speed manual and only the 1.4-liter turbo and the 1.7-liter diesel received the 6-speed automatic transmission.

　　For the interior, depending on the trim level, the customers could receive navigation systems, decent infotainment units, and even leather seats. Standard, base engines, had only power-windows and air-conditioning. Some versions were available only with the 2WD system, for which the rear suspension was a semi-rigid type. But most of the sales were not for the all-wheel-drive systems.
